IN ADVANCE . VOLUME II H, H. .Stevens, Editor. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, FEB. 3, 1911. No. 39 1 Construction of Bridget Not Yet Commenced���Company in Open Defiance of Railway Oommiasion. Last September, as a result of an energetic campaign by Alderman Stevens, the Railway Commission ordered the 6. N. Railway Company to file plans within one month providing for bridges over their cut at Woodland Drive. Broadway and Templeton Drive, and that the structures be "completed*'.within six months, which would be March 7th next. The Railway Company filed the plans, but have taken no* steps towards the construction of the bridges, exeept a little timber at Woodland Drive. It is clear that they purpose openly defying both the city and the Railway Commission. This insufferable in- solance by a foreign corporation to the city and the Dominion authorities, is going altogether too far. This Company has received many favors from this city and from the Government, and we should receive more consideration at their hands. These bridges are badly needed NOW, and in ashort time the spring work will be opened up and we will be without transportation facilities. Our purpose in getting the order set at "six months" was to avoid the delay in our summer's work, which is now being made impossible by the impertinence pf this arrogant Railway Company. Most of the concessions the ��Citj\ of Vancouver received from "Jim Hill" re False Creek are verbal, and if he defies the Railway Commission's orders, what will he do with verbal promises? We have repeatedly pointed out this tendency to break faith on the part of the Great Northern, and it is about time the public realized it and treated this Company with "cast-iron courtesy."

Special Article Written for $The Call.^���History of How Quebec got, lH3r, 3:hiiil Privileges.^A - And What They Really Have. , INTRODUCTORY. There is a surprising ignorance, even amongst comparatively well- educated men, regarding the manner in which the French race and the Roman Catholic Church obtained their special, privileges in the Dominion of Canada. This ignorance can, perhaps, be excused on two grounds. One is that our ordinary school histories' do not deal to/any extent with the question, and the other is that officials of the Roman Catholic Church and prominent,speakers belonging to the French race have for.V htttbber of, years kept reiterating the statement that these special privilegesjAfere^obtained by/traty right; 'careless and indifferent Protestants/without taking,the trouble to investigate, have accepted the statement at its face value,' add believed it to be correct. "The purpose of these articles is trf'deatfwiuY the -question from an historical standpoint, and by producing the facts', "sh6w how these special privileges were really secured. The first article will deal with the' Treaty, of Paris of 1763, as that was the treaty which terminated the Wr between France and Englarid, and which stated 'the terms upon whicfy Canada was surrendered to" the British Crown. ' ' ' '/ \ 7'\',',( ' < ��� 's^\:'<. ;, -THE TREATY OF; PARIS OF 1763., H , The first .time'the British came in'contact Iwith the, demands of-the Church of Rome for exclusive treatment was at the capitulation;,of ^Quebec, after7 Wolfe's victory.

"The free exercise of ihe Romatt'Caiholicr religion is grenied^Mkitfise safeguards to all religious persons; as ire// as to the bishop, who.shall be at liberty to come and exercise, freely and with decency, the functions of his office, whenever he shall thin\ proper^ until the possession of Canada shall ' have been decided between their Britannic and most Christian majesties." ' .3 The French commander simply asked for assurance of protection, and it was granted. The article has no bearing on the standing of the Church. It simply concedes what any humane officer would grant, and leaves the status of the Church to be decided by treaty between England and France. In I 763 there was a meeting of representatives of Austria and Prussia of Britain and France to draw up a treaty of peace. When the article regarding leligion was reached in the treaty that concerned Canada, the French, ministers asked that it read as follows: " ^ "His Britannic Majesty on his sid< agrees to grant the liberty of the Catholic religion to the inhabitants of Criada; he will consequently give the most effectual orders that his new Cathoic subjects may profess the worship of, their religion according to the rites of the Roman Church, as they have done.*'' , ____'_ The British representatives would pot consent. They demanded thai the words, "as they have done," be struct out. The French ministers pled in vain for their retntion. Thy were scorejd out. Fearful even then that the article might be construed into Britain's 'agreeing to continue the Church of Rome on the status it had under France, they insisted on adding the words, "so far as the laws of Great Britain pemii." After some demur, the Frcncl finding it impossible to get the Englishmen to recede, agreed, and the article as confirmed read: "His Britannic Majesty agrees lo grant the liberty of the Catholic religion lo the inhabitants of Canada; he will, consequently, give the most efectuc orders that his new Roman Catholic subjects may profess the worship of theii religion, according lo the riles of the Roman Church, as far as the laws o, Gfcai Britain permit." . Y" The meaning of the article is obvious. YWhatever privileges Catholic? were to enjoy, were lo be measured by British law and not by French. The English commissioners were resolute in having it fully understood that the subjects whom France was abandoning were to come under the rule of Britain divested entirely of everything that pertained to their old status, and to thai end insisted on the adoption of this additional article: "The King of France cedes and guarantees to his Britannic M"iesly, in full right, Canada and Us dependencies; and makes over the whole in the most ample mnnner and form, ivithout restriction and without any liberty to depart from the said cession and guarantee.^;- k^ The conveyance of Carada was thus made .wil^put a single reservation or condition jn favor of the inhabitants, the French King abandoning his late subjects to the conqueror with brutal .indifference. In the entire trealv there irYnot a single word about the French language, French laws, or Roman Catholic Separate Schools. For the prevailing impression, that the Treaty of Paris placed the French-Canadians and Roman Catholic on a different plane from other British subjects by preserving to them certain distinctive privileges, there is ro foundation. That such a notion exists is due solely to the assertions of those whose interest it is to have it believed; but the fact is that whatever '"s found exceptional with regard to special; privileges, rests not upon treaty rights, and whoever says the contrary, asserts what he cannot prove. The ; rraty wasSsigred in February, I 76 Viand the following October King Georpe issued a proclamation defining prescribing how it was7 to be governed and could rely. So soon as military rule could v ith safety be suoerseded Canada was to be erected into a Province, similar to the thirteen colonies to the south of it, and have an assembly representative f the people, who would maX* laws and otherwise provide for its governm nt. Until such time,0 the royal proclamation went on to declare: "All persons inhabiting in, or resorting :o in our royal protection for the enjoyment o realm of England." The reclamation instructs the govern* to constitute courts for trying cases, both civil and criminal, as near as rjay be agreeable to the Jaws of England. There is not a work in the procKtation modifying this assurance of English law to whoevrr should settle in Canada, and not aw brd of any exception in favor of the French-Canadians. This proclamation of the King (Continued on Page Two,) sentatives, who will form the executive committee for next year. Hod. W. J. Bowser Speaks. " During the evening the Hon. W. J.

As it is. he'throws all his abilities in that line into his work as an evangelist. The wish is often expressed by many cultured persons, that it Avould be well if, the stage could be used for the dissemination of matters ethical and moral, and even the religious. This wish is fulfilled in Herbert Booth. Onii has but to forget that he is in a church and give reign to his imagination, to find himself beholding a dramatic presentation of the gospel by "one of the best actors of the day, in the person of Herbert Booth. It is well worth while to hear him and study his method of presentation. His reading of the Scriptures is also good.

The proclamation declared Canada to be English and nothing but English. There is not even reservation of the French tenure of land. In the direction, a, to selling lands to settlers, and o^g ants to soldiers and sailors who had served in the late war. it is specfied that the land shall be conveyed on the same terms as exist in other British colonies. Thi, proclamation, issued a few months after the treaty of P>ns was signed, recognize, in no way that the French-Canadians were to have any privileges other than those that pertained to them as British subjects. In .this the������: was no disappointment to the French-Canadians. Judge Hey. the first Chiel Justice of Quebec under English rule, in his evidence before the House ot Commons in 1774. testified that at the conquest the French-Canadians, "neither expected to retain their religion nor their laws, and looked upon them- ulves a* a ruined and abandoned people. The general expectation among th inhabitants vat that Kmg George would be as absolute as their late royal matter;and order them to be Protestants" The lenity with which they were treated was confirmed by Quebec's first Attorney-General; Maseres, in the following remarkable statement: I am of - " opinion," he said. "*ilh General Amherst, that if Jhe pnestshad been given their Ming (that is, pensioned) arnfthw places had been supplied by Protest- **������* ants, the French-Canadian* woul& have been satisfied. General Murray, on becoming Canada's first civil governor, received instructions from the Secretary of State, Earl Egremont. to su*fc hun> He was told (August 13th, 1763) to guard against attempts by the FrencWCov- ernment through the priests to keep the habitants in expectation of resumption of the rule of Louis. Here are the Earl's words: - "His Majesty has reason to suspect that the French may be disposed to avail themselves of the liberty of the Catholic religion granted to the mhab-. Hants, to keep up their connection with France, and to induce them to join for the recovery of the country. The priests, therefore, mwt be narrowly watched, and any who meddle in civil matters be removed. Whilst there ������ no thought of restraining the new subjects in the exercise of their religion according to the rites of the Romish Church, the condition is, as far as the laws of Great Britain permit, which, can only admit of toleration, the matter bang clearly understood -in fie negotiation for the definitive treaty of peace, the French ministers proposing to insert the words, 'comme ci devant, (ok they have done), and did not give up the point until they were plainly toli that it would be deceiving them to insert these words. You are, however, tojavoid everything that can give hie least unnecessary alarm or disgust to thi new subjects. The greatest care must be used against the priest, Le Lputre, should he return to Canada, where he is not to be allowed to remain, and\every priest coming to-Canada must appear before_^e_gpvernpr for ejcam^ation and must take the oath of allegiance.** This is the evidence of a nobleman who was present while the treat was being negotiated, and i������ additional evidence as to what was the-obyct in adding the clause. "As far as the laws of Great Britain permit. Britain was asked to continue the status of the priest as it had been under France, and Britain said no. and added nine words to the article which decisively deprived the priests of their powers under French rule, and placed, them, under the authority of the leva of rBitain. Tenjfears after the treaty was ratified, when the Quebec A������-t was being contemplated, the law officer of the House, Wedderburn. aftervards Lord Chancellor, gave this written opinion on the article: . , "This qualification (r^ far at the laws of Great Britain permit) renders the article of so little eft- t. from the severity with which, thuogh seldom executed, the laws of Errand are armed against the exercise of the Roman Catholic religion, that tu- French-Canadian must depend more upon the begnignity and wisdom of your Majesty's government for the protection of his religious rights than ������'^->n the provisions of the treaty." In December. 1763, General Murray received further instructions as to liow he was to carr��������� Yki the affairs of the colony. The following were the directions he was to follow in ecclesiastical affairs: =. TWO���������West. Call v 7" '/ concluded at Paris the tenth day of February, 1763, to grant the liberty of the Catholic religion to the inhabitants of Canada, and that we will consequently give the most precise and most effectual order, that our new Roman Catholic subjects in that Province may profess the worship of their religion, according to the rites of the Roman Church, as far as the laws of Great Britain permit; it is merefore our will and pleasure,, that you do, in all things regarding the said inhabitants, conform with great exactness to the stipulations of the said treaty in this .respect , . '.--. . . ,/ . /��������� o Y "You are not to permit of any ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the See of Rome, or any other foreign Ecclesiastical jurisdiction whatsoever in the Province under your government. ,-7, Y , ...'��������� . .'"',' "And to the end that.the Church of England may be established, both in principles and practices, and that the said inhabitants may, by degrees, be induced to embrace the Protestant religion, and their children be bought up in the principles of it; we do hereby declare it to, be our intention when the said Province shall* have been accurately surveyed, and divided/;: ships, districts, precincts'or parishes, in such manner as shall bes directed, all possible encouragement shall be given to the erecting ������ ant schools in the said districts, townships, and precincts, by settling ing and allotting proper quantities of land for that purpose, andf glebe and maintenance for a Protestant minister and Protestant sch . . and you are to consider and report to us, by our commissioners fol. rade and plantations, by what other means the Protestant religion may beTDromoted. established, and encouraged in our Province under your governing In these instructions thereTo not/one word about the Frencr French laws or, Roman Catholic separate schools. 1 ���������'. These are the facts of the treaty: (1) The French KingIsked that the article of the treaty regarding religion should read so as to leave the priests their old status. (2) This the British not only refused, but inserted words to make it clear that the priests would only have the status allowed by the English laws then in force. (3) To make the matter more definite, an article was included in the treaty declaring that the French King made over his subjects in Canada without restriction. (4) Following the treaty. King George issued a proclamation declaring English law to be the law of Quebec. (5) By not exacting tithes or dues by law, as they had done under the old regime, the priests recognized the fact that their status had been changed, and that they were now governed by English instead of French law. (6) ,The instructions to the first governor were that he was not to permit any ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Rome in the Province, and he was told that it was the intention of the English Government to make the Church of England the Established Church. The victory of Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham in 1759 decided the destiny of Canada. Henceforth, it was to be a British possession, and was to come under British rule. The treaty by which it formally came into the hands of the British people.was .the Treaty of Paris of 1763.and if any special rights' or privileges were retained to the French race or the Roman Catholic Church by treaty right, the fact would be mentioned in the terms of this treaty. A thorough examination, however, of the terms of surrender, die final treaty of peace, and the instructions of die, King and die Secretary of State to die first Governor, show conclusively that there were no special privileges of any kind granted either to the French-Canadians or to die Roman Catholic Church. Positive and, continued assertion has gone a long way with people too indolent-or too careless tg inquire whether such assertion has any foundation in" fact For generation, the people of Canada have been listening to solemn assurances that the Treaty of Paris secured to Quebec and the Roman Catholic Church peculiar privileges; although reference to the articles of the treaty, even without considering the attending circumstances under which it was formulated, or the interpretation placed upon it by the governors and officials who had to carry die article into practice, would ������how that they are falae- hoods; We intend to show in subsequent articles how these special privileges were obtained, and our article next week will deal with die Quebec Act of 1774.

The Western Gall Issued every Friday at 2408 West'r. Phone 1405 ltd. Editor: H. H. STEVENS. WOMAN.; Slowly but ������������������surely/the' walls of Ihe fortress of male monopoly are being undermined, for we hear of rdvance along the line of poii'ical emancipation of woman . in conservative old England, that is astonishing to say the least. There are now three lady mayors, the first, being Mrs. Garrett Anderson, elected mayor of EUleburgh, who discharged her duties with dignity and success, which secured her re-election in 1909.. Since then Brecon and Oldham have followed the wise precedence,.and the-old-Welsh municipality of Brecow is now presided over by an unmarried lady, the,; daughter of a Welsh rector, and an anient temperance and moral reformer. It is evident that the Welsh people know a gocd thing when they see tt. Then to be mayor in an,industrial and prbgressrve community like Oldham is no s,mall thing, and this great responsibility rests now upon a grand woman of -sixty^ight years of age, Mrs. Lees, who this year has been elected to tbe mayoral chair. Time brings many sur. and then perhaps woman may be recognized, inside and outside -of four wallr. One thing is certain, that then there will be, equal wage a,nd equal working something striking to say, and each ex ~~" " "'pressed his opinion frankly The re RECIPROCITY AND MANUFACTURERS. Although the reciprocity negotia tionsjit Washington are over, and in- terest in the' subject is not so much to the fore as it was some weeks ago, it hardly seems out of place to call attention to some of the prophecies which were made at the banquet of the Canadian Manufacturers' Associa tion here, when some of the bes ��������� known men of the country sat down tc dine together. That there are subjects of agitation in the country was evident from the tone of the speeches. :Hon. Mr. Lemieux, Mr;-.RYE. Borden, Sir E. B. Walker, Mr/Donald Macmas ter and Br Charles M: Hays, each had hours. Then men will not have tfce monopoly of the eight-hour system, whilst poor, weak women toil ten and eleven hours in factories and laundries, etc. .-No, indeed! there will.be ustj a few changes in economic conditior j when women have the power of the ballot whether or not they sL:, in "hig'������������������ places." However, whenever, when ever woman can help tlie cause of hi. manity, she'll te thsre. - F. S. H. his ciproclty negotiations, the divergency of interests between farmers of^.thf west and manufacturers of the eas-. the closer linking of Imperial bonds, and Hon. Mr. Lemieux's eloquent description of harmeny under the British flag in South Africa were all subjects of keen interest to the more than 300 captains of industry who attended the banquet f' Mackenzie King is a direct result of tbe Investigations made by a little band of workers in Montreal, wbo have "ound that hte fcocaine snuffing evil .has reached large proportions in the city and country, and is doing untold damage to the boys and girls of Canada. Mr. King will ask for cast iron legislation setting an absolute ban oa the sale of cocaine in the Dominion o������ Canada except for medical purposes^ and providing heavy punishment for violators of the law. The present laws; have proved totally inadequate in coping with the evil, and chief Car-, penter, of the Detective Bureau, has, made the startling announcement that. fully four-fifths of the young boys and, girls who fall into his hands, have the habit- in a greater���������or lesser-degree,-^ and that he and his men are almost, powerless to check the sals: by. un> scrupulous druggists.

VII' Sixty thousand 'Bibles have been placed in the bedrooms ot hotels in the United States and .Canada by the "Gideons." This organization is composed of Christian commercial travelers of America, and tbey aim to provide by this broadcast sowing of the Word for the spiritual welfare of those who like ' theniselyes spend so many' hours in the unVomelike atmosphere of a hotel bedroom. , Proprietors every where are said to encourage the plan. A Chicago paper reports one landlady as giving testimony curiously contradictory to that offered by one of her class in New ��������� York who did not regret giving up her .' house because it seemed to have been run in the interests of the gas company. As we learn from "The Evan gelical Messenger" (Cleveland), here is,what "the prlprletor ofa-little hotel west of the Mississippi" writes: "The change I noticed first after tbe Bibles Were placed in the bedrooms oi , my hotel was that my electric light a bill doubled. These men get hold of ' "a Bible, read the references you cite, and then are not satisfied. They go on Reading and my light bill goes on getting bigger. But I don't care in the ' least. I would just as soon have it get bjgger yet if Eible reading is responsible for the Increase." "The Evangelical Messenger" has accumulated other testimony to the value of this act of the Gideons: "A "United States Senator's thoughts -,-and.memorjes^were so stirred from the reading of one of these Bibies~iri aTHor tel, as to.move him to send a check for .$50 to aid in the distribution of Bibles under this plan, confessing in H an accompanying note that the reading of that Bible in the hotel had led bis 'thoughts back Mnto channels ���������where they had not been for manj years.' We cite these instances as an indication of the promise and possibili ties of the Bible scheme of tbe Gide -ons." The following lines are pasted with in the cover of each volume: "This holy book, whose leaves dis play the Life, the Light, the Truth, and tthe Way, is placed in this room b> tho Gideons, the Christian Commercial Travelers' Association of America aided by the churches and- Young Men's Christian Association of thi* city, with the hope that,by.means oi this book many may be brought tc know the love of Christ which passetb knowledge.

"If lonesome or blue and friends untrue, read Psalms 23 and 27; Luke 15. "if trade is poor, read Psalm 37, John 15. "It discouraged or in trouble, read Psalm 126, John 14. "If you are out of sorts, read He brews 12. "If you are losing confidence in men, read 1 Cor. 13. "If skeptical, read John 6:40; 7:7; Phil. 2:9-11. "If you can't have your own way, read James 3.

The extent of this diffused parish may be realized when one reflects up on the "great army of commercial travelers." This journal continues: "Multiple thousands of them are very earnest' Christians. Many of them carry their Bibles whenever and wherever they go. They attend not 3nly the Sunday services in strange aities but the mid-week prayer meetings at every, opportunity and witness or Christ in many ways as they go 'tc ind fro' in their daily pursuit. These .-nen have experienced the helpfulness >f daily Bible reading and Christian 'iving in business circles and have seen in opportunity to supply a need among che traveling public in a very practical nanner. The success of the movement :bows what a grip the Book of Books las on the general public.

The right ideal of a home is that it be a place in which the primary I, duty is not to work, or any wise unnecessary sacrifice���������waste���������strength or life, but that it be a place in which lit is possible for mother and father and all to live at their best physically, mentally, morally, spiritually. The ', house becomes an agency in home- making only when it and its furnishings serve human.needs. Though the 'home-maker is not to be a slave, she must be a real and able manager, conscious of the responsibilities that rest upon her and ever equal to the needs of the day. These,7 rightly accepted- and rightly met,, need not be a burden, for, ln BpiteOf much work and many cares, in spite of the function of motherhood, a woman can meet her home- making tasks and responsibilities as a conqueror if'' she sets up the home with a determination not to let the demon of drudging, straining work rule her life; not to let the appeal of mere things sound louder in her ears than the call of her own right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Without doing any violence to one's love of the artistic and of making a good appearance, the once who would establish her household on a solid foundation must consider her natural physical limitations > very carefully��������� remember that muscles will curve and stiffen, eyes and cheeks will fade, nerves grow weak and unreasonably irritable if not fairly treated. In doing this one need not? plan to be ,merely self-indulgent, only scientifically sensible. It Is far wiser to invest money in labor-saving fittings and furnishings at the outset than to invest* a woman's muscles and nerves in doing without what she ought to have; r and a sweet, serene, cheery face, a trig, sprightly figure adorn dining-room and parlor far more truly than^do expensive furniture and bric- a-brac. The kitchen, with its adjoining, workrooms, should have most careful consideration,' should, be fitted ' and furnished on the principle that it is a laboratory chemist or biologist; its contents should be substantial, made with reference to easy cleaning, and should be such that time, strength ~*rps, may not be wasted, that comfort and hygiene are not overlooked, that doing work may ever be kept subordinate to the purposes of the work, that mind and muscle, not muscle alone, may be pitted against every day's requirements. Kitchen ventilation is vitally important. One medical teacher insists that tuberculosis is as truly a "kitchen disease" as it is a tenement district disease. Good light and sunshine are no less essential. If by any means possible, a "lift" that runs from cellar to attic should open into the kitchen or some nearby room. Going on from the kitchen, the same practical, really scientific principle may be applied in furnishing other parts of the house. A'generous supply of first class cleaning tools, plain,- lightweight furniture1 that is easily dusted, and that moves on castors; weights and pulleys to life the windows; easily laundered draperies and covers, or those that do not need laundering; just a reasonable supply of bric-a-brac ��������� such arrangements can save much muscle strain and muclfTbought and care "in the long run." 'Going &till further, the tone of the house should be such that the queen of the home realm and all her dear subjects may breath aesthetic comfort, peace, a > sense of "at-homeness" into the deepest depths of their lives. If natural human cravings for beautiful form, for light and color are rationally supplied, the life is elevated, sweetened . becomes a force for good. One essential to securing all this is |4^>*4^H~X^^4^������M^^^4������K'������*������ ������H^^^:~H^K^������:<^^H^K~>W<*:"X' 4~>^:~X^K'^H-:������H-X������'X������>^^^ m The Royal Drug Go., Ltd. ll PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS I850 PARK DRIVe PHONE 6167 COR. 3rd AVENUE, EAST NIGHT PHONE R2I48 SPECIALS ��������� ���������' . 0 . ��������� ��������� _. ������������������<���������'..

SCHOOL TEACHERS SCARCE DECLARES QUEBEC'S PREMIER Anarchist Hunt Reaches Canada��������� Value of Canadian Parole System- Canada's Morgan Groupe. (From Our' Own Correspondent) MONTREAL.���������Tbe dearth of school .eachers, ever a live topic in the rural districts of the country, bids fair to jecome even more acute in the #near ruture on account of the legislation ioreshadowed by Sir Lomer Gouin at the opening of the Quebec Legislature concerning advancement on education-, al projects in the Province of Quebec. Sir Lomer says tbat special inducements are to be offered'for the engagement of male teachers by the different school boards, and that, in tms way, ne hopes to be able to see education in the, country parishes equal that of the cities. At present as soon as a school teacher procures a diploma he or she invariably moves westward. Sir Lomer says now that, he will have work for them to do near home, and that the expanding west must look elsewhere for Its supply. , The speech from the Throne also contained another announcement of considerable interest to the whole of Jaiiada. It was that the Government had pledged itself to the futherance of the good reads movement, and that ^arge sums of money- would, be asked to build up and maintain public highways. >< * * Excitement and -interest in the rfoundstich battle between anarchists and London police some time ago received new impetus here when it became known that orders had been issued from Scotland "iard to all, the police and-detective departments-in Canada to keep a sharp watch on all suspicious characters in their districts, and to be particularly careful to see to it that they were under direct surveillance for the few weeks prior to -he Coronation. As a result of this the Dominion Police, . nder Colonel Percy Sherwood, have been most active and a large force has been sent down to the boundary to board and inspect trains coming in trom the ocean ports of the United States to Canada. This .vork was being done quietly and effectively, but this week Inspector Parkinson held up a part} of four at Rouse's Point, coming into Montreal from New York. There were two women and two men in the party. The inspector told them, in bis usual quiet manner, that they would not be able to enter Canada. One of tbe wometi, becoming angry drew a long hat pin and tried to stab the inspector. The consequent small riot in the sleeping car aroused the curiosity of the passengers and the story leaked out. Later, the Inspector announced that never before had the authorities turned back so many people, under one circumstance or another, as in the past two weeks, .��������� . * ������ If there is any faith to be put in figures, Canada's parole system of dealing with criminals has proved its value during the eleven years it has been in operation. Dominion Parole Officer Archibald, in the course of an inspection trip at St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary, said that, of the three thousand and seventy-two prisoners who have been released from the penitentiaries on parole during that period, two thousand have justified their right to freedom by living the lives of self- respecting and industrious citizens, nine hnudred and ninety nine are still reporting to the authorities, and only sixty-two have found their way back "to the courts through the lures of their old habits and activities. . . . There Is not very much use trying to play the role of stock market Bear these dayS. The tendency is all the other way and the Bulls have the call every time. Times are too prosperous just now to think or talk of declining values. The Bulls even say tbat Canada is getting to the stage where a set back across the border would not effect us to any marked extent. Three years ago, it wiil be remembered, there was next door to a financial panic in the United States and although Canada was enjoying an unexampled era of prosperity the adverse influences from abroad called a bait and there was a general readjustment of values in consequence of the interference to the wave of prosperity at home. As Canada grows bigger and stronger financially, the more she becomes independent of what financial turmoil Uncle Sam may see fit to permit within his borders. The enormous inflow of capital from different parts of the globe, but particularly from the land of John Bull, shows no sign of cessation and with the development cf our own great resources keeping on apace it looks i as though the preachment of the Bull element ought not to be far wrong, even if it does appear a little over- enthusiastic to the. moderate man in the "Street." Several things have occurred within the past few months to give additional strength to Canadian credit abroad and nothing could have been finer in that respect that the recent demonstration of the wonderful earning capacity of the Canadian Pacific Railway as shown by the decision'of the directors within tbe past few days to place the stock on a 10 per cent dividend basis. The completion of the new power plant of the Sherbrooke Railway and Power Company has drawn Montreal capitalists attention away from their street railway in the city to a promising public utility .enterprise in the Eastern Townships. The Sherbrooke company is .only about a year old, it having taken over the old Sherbrookjr 7'~ Street Railway Jast year, but already- ' it is commencing to showv the fruits of labor and thought inthe manner in which it is grappling with the power / and transportation problems ot tbe townships. Mr. Clarence McCuaig, on whose shoulders the principal-bu-2Ci / of reorganization of the company ha������ ��������� fallen, and whose energy has been re- - sponsible for getting tbe plant into tbe excellant running order it ia In today, is now figuring on ever larger >. plans with a view to giving quick transportation and power to the city ot '������= Sherbrooke and the surrounding district. With this end in view he has purchased three water powers on the ' - Magog river and has commenced ..development. The result will be that the ,- townships will eventually have their own hydro-electric power. Another concern has been a great winner In the stock market within the past few days. This is Laurentlde Paper of which Sir William Van Home is president and R. B. Angus, C. R. Hosmer and James Ross are among the directors. The $1,600,00 of common - stock which only a short time ago had - a market value of less than $2,400,000 ". ' has appreciated in value to the extent of between $900,000 and aa the stock is concentrated for the moat part comparatively few hands the profit can be estimated at a glance. The company has ' been making great profits and some scheme is now under consideration for giving tbe shareholders a larger proportion than they are now receiving from the already handsome g per cent dividend rate. It will thus be seen that the C. P, R. millionaires are very much in the"swim1'arid* are rapidly adding to their already, immense fortunes.* , . ��������� . , AN IDEAL SUBSTITUTE.

Air Resistance in Traveling.'' Moving at the rate of twenty miles an hour, the air offers a resistance of two pounds avoirdupois to every equare foot of surface exposed to it; that is, it takes a push of two pounds to every square foot to force the air out of the way. This resistance increases rapidly as the speed increases. If the raws is foil/ miles, the lesistance is th square of twice that caused by the speed above mentioned, or eight pounds to the square foot; and if it is sixty miles per hour, it is the square of three times, or eighteen pounds to the square foot; if a hundred miles an hour, the pressure will be fifty pounds per square foot. The adult human body, taking clothing into account, presents a surface of about five square feet; and if it wei'e not that it was rounuou out! Cud ^JJlc^ occur behind it, it would have to support a pressure of forty-five pounds when going at sixty miles an hour. Some Simple Weather Phenomena. Air has weight, but it takes seven or eight hundred gallons of it to balance one gallon of water. It is lighter when warm, because it expands with'increased temperature. It is also lighter when moist, for a given amount of the vapor of water, weighs but little more than half as much, as an equal quantity of dry air. Air is also heavier when compressed, as when in an air pump, or near the surface of the earth. The eWiflht. The air is four hundred and fifty or five hundred miles deep, fully half of which is '.:. the first three and a half miles, and three-quarters in the first six miles. At sea level there Is a pers- sure of mor than a ton to the square foot Velocity of the Wind. The velocity of the wind is expressed in miles^ it travels per hour. A very light breeze, Just nough to stir the leaves on the trees has a velocity of about two miles per hour, a smaller breeze which cools us in summer, travels at the rate of from five to seven miles an hour. A fresh breeze is traveling at the rate of ten to twelve miles eling at the rate of ten to twelve miles, a strong one from fifteen to twenty, a high wind from twenty-five to thirty, and a gale from thirty-five to forty. A hurricane may have winds traveling from seventy-five to nearly one hundred mlleB per hour. Fore* of tho Wind. , The force which the wind exerts differs with tbe form, size and position of the surface exposed to It. ji rule which gives a fair average value, is that the pressure in pounds to the square foot may be obtained by squaring tbe velocity tn miles per hour and dividing by 200." This would give a fourteen miles per hour a pushing force of one pound to each square foot directly opposed to it. Fr twenty miles an bur tbe pressure would be two pounds to each square foot; for forty miles, eight pounds, for sixty miles, eighteen pounds and so on. Matter has three physical states, tbe /r.

To change a body from ne of the other is made by the addition or subtraction of heat. To change a body from solid to liquid, as when ice or iron is melted; or from liquid to gas, as when alcohol or water is ^evaporated���������heat must be added. When the change is the other way, heat is given out. It always takes the same amount of heat to make any and'all these changes in the same substances. The ordinary natural substances remain unchanged through the whole range of weather temperature. Iron, rocks and soil are unmelted; all the gases of the atmosphere rmain gaseous throughout the weather changes. Oxygen, nitrogen and carbonic acid gas requires enormously lower tempera: ture than the weather makes to change them Water. Tn< inly natural and common sub- stanc that changes its physical state in th< ange of metorologlcal changes is wa ��������� r; and it passes through the series ;f three steps���������solid, ice, liquid ���������water and moisture���������vapor or steam. The change from water to ice occurs at 32 degrees, but from ice to water it may occur at. any temperature. There is always water vapor in the air. Water is the carrier and distributor of heat in the atmosphere. Dew. Dew is condensed vapor. When the Bky Is clear and the free surface, such as stone, soil, plants and other things in connection with the ground, are not heated by the sun, they become chilled. If at the same time the air is still it becomes chilled by contact with' the rock or other bodies and^deposlts upon it the condensed moisture. Dew falls when tbe air Is calm and the sky clear. It is most likely to fall, and is most copious at daybreak, which is the coolest and calmest part of the day. It cannot occur where the sun's rays have free access, for they heat tho solid objects until they'are warmr than the air; nor can it occur unless there is enough moisture in the air to give a dew point above the temperature of the bodies chilled. Frosts. Frost is simply dew deposited at temperature below freezing. When a very moist air sweeps across small bodies; such as branches of trees, which are below tbe freezing point, the frost may continue to be deposited on tbem until, tbey become so loaded as to, be broken down. Clouds or Fog. A fog is a cloud at the ground, and a cloud is a tog high up ln the air. Both cloud and fog are produced by cooling the air below tbe dew-point, or forcing the moisture into the air until super-saturated. Tbe latter is tbe process by which a locomotive makes clouds or fogs on a small scale. The chief way which clouds are formed is by ascending currents of air. There are three fundamental forms of clouds: Cirrus, Cumulus and Stratus. Tbe Cirrus or vail cloud is fine, feathery, of a silky texture, and lustre, and so thin that stars can easily be seen through It. It is tbe highest of the clouds, being from three to ten mlleB above us. Circus clouds move most rapidly of all tbe clouds; its average rate is eighty miles per hour, being sixty-three ln summer and ninety- Snow. Snowflake8 present a much larger surface to hteeitrassoncfe mrfmfdhmf surface to the resistance of tbe air, and so fall more slowly. A snowfall is equivalent to about a tenth of Its depth in water���������that is when melted ten inches of snow will make one inch of water. 8CH00L8 FOR CONSUMPTIVES KEELER'S NURSERY For the next 30 days will sell POT PLANTS for HALF PRICE.

The Cumulus cloud is very white above, unless tinted with gold by tbe rising or setting sun, and rounded, domed, or anvil-shaped. It Is the thickest ot al tbe clouds, generally standing isolated from tbe rest, flat and dark at the bottom. Its usual height above the earth.Is one mile. It usually stands still, but when it doeB travel goes at a rate of twenty to thirty miles an hour. It is a warm weather cloud form.. The Stratus or blanket cloud is the third form. It is darker ln color than the others, a dark gray with sometimes a brownish tinge. It forms a layer or blank*: of no great thickness, pretty evenly spread over a larger or smaller portion of the sky. Seen near the horizon it seems but a hand, but when above the observer it spreads like a blanket, thick enough to shut out the sun and stars. It floats nearest the surface of the earth of any of the clouds, averaging from a quarter to a third of a mile above the surface. It is only a bank of fog elevated above our heads. It is the cloud of melancholy weather, of winter and of show. Precipitation. Precipitation is caused by the moisture which forms the elements of the clouds, gradually or suddenly growing in weight sufficiently to bring them to the ground, before they can be again evaporated. The resistance which the air offers to their passage keeps them from falling too fast. The drop soon acquires such velocity that the air prevents its going any faBter. The larger and heavier the drop the greater. Is the speed at which it falls, but it is never great enough to injure anything. Were it not for the resistance of the air, a' drop' of watr, "notwithstanding that it is fluid, fallire- fromth������?heliht of half a mile would be as dangerous as a billet.-'7:r . \.. . Y. A school for tuberculosis patients, in which they may learn how to get well���������that is the idea of a sanatorium advanced by Dr. David L. Sohn, of New York, in "American Medicine" (New York). We can isolate only a small number of consumptives, Dr. Sohn says. There are a great army of them, and our few sanatorlums are unable to combat the disease. We ~jst educate these whom we can not treat���������teach them how to live so that they may vanquish the malady by themselves*. Isolation and education are his watchwords and the greater of these two is .education���������the greater because it must be our weapon with hundreds of thousands, while isolation can be effective with comparatively few. We read: "Let us isolate those whom we can and'educate those whom we can not! In order to accomplish the best results under the present trying circumstances, I advocate the establishment of schools for consumptives, in which the patient will in three weeks derive the benefit of a practical course of instruction at a sanatorium' school devoted solely to this purpose. "The sanatorium school I have in mind can be built within the city limits or in the suburbs. It should be an institution built and equipped as a modern sanatorium for the cure of consumption, suited for open air, rest, hygienic and dietetic treatment, and should be under the supervision of trained physicians and nurses who will carry out the most approved treatment of tuberculosis. There the patients win not only be kept and treated, but they will themselves be instructed in the various phases of sanatorium treatment. There' they will be trained how to take care of themselves after they leave the sanatorium school. I may venture to say that after a course of three weeks in such an institution, a patient will be well able to take care of himself no matter where he may go to continue bis treatment for an ultimate cure. Furthermore, by these instructions, infection to other persons through Ignorance and carelessness will be made almost Impossible. We know tbat tbe untrained and uncared-for ( consumptive constitutes a great menace to bis home and workshop. Very frequently he causes additional lives to be ^sacrificed because his presence and bis ignorance constitute -a dangerous environ ment for bis associates." We are beginning to learn, Dr. Sohn goes on to say, tbat it 1b unnecessary to go to the mountains to seek a cure for tuberculosis. Pure air is essential, but^w..herever we can find it constantly we are reasonably sure to obtain quick results, provided the patient understands bis disease, or is under tbe supervision ot a trained physician. To quote further: "It may Interest you to know tbat in every locality where sanatoria for consumptives are maintained the morality from tuberculosis has markedly decreased among the villagers jiince the establlsbmenTof liuch institutions. Tbe reduction in this morality is to be explained by tbeir imitation, voluntary and unconscious, of tbe cleanliness and sanitary precautions practised ln tbe institutions in their midst. Since a sanatorium has such a good influence upon the' inhabitants outside the Institution, what are we to expect from those inhabitants inside the institution who are anxious to be cured? A graduate from a sanatorium school will be able to go to any locality in the vicinity of his home where he can find pure air. He may even remain.in his very home where he may frequently be seen by relatives and friends who will inspire him with the hope and confidence so essential to the consumptive. Thus, this intelligent near- at-home treatment proves more advantageous too In that it does away with the homesickness and worry which are so often a great rindrance to recovery." ������' A Large Shipment of Music Now on Hand should. ^ have been delivered for Holiday Trade so to make A entire Clearance we will sellat a Great Reduction 5 '. 7 ' -r Cowan's Music Store 2315 Westminster Avenue *********** 1**************0****************+**+****SS B.
